<h4>Chapter 953: Chapter 952: We Don’t Want This Artist Anymore</h4>
After ten minutes, Linda knocked on the door of the President’s office.
A steady voice came from inside: "Come in."
Linda pushed the door open and walked in, seeing the man sitting at the desk, she got straight to the point: "Mr. Tucker, what is it that you needed to speak with me about?"
She had some guesses in her mind.
She had known Garret Twain for many years, and they were more than just boss and subordinate, they were old friends as well.
Both of them had a mutual understanding for each other.
"There’s no need for such formalities between us. It sounds so awkward. There’s nobody here." Garret pointed to the couch, "Sit down first. What would you like to drink?"
Linda sat down on the side, shaking her head, "There’s no need for it. Mr. Tucker, just tell me directly why you wanted to see me. You know my personality, I don’t like to beat around the bush."
"Alright." Garret liked to get straight to the point too. Once she sat down, he directly asked, "The artist you just signed, what was her name... seems to start with Jo, I think?"
A "thud" resounded in Linda’s heart, but she remainedposed on the surface, nodding her head, "Yes, her name is Joanna Lawrence."
As expected, it had something to do with Joanna.
"Hmm, it’s her." Garret sat back on the ck leather chair, a subtle crease on his forehead, "Have you seen all themotion she’s caused on her Blog?"
"I’ve seen it."
"This artist has just been signed recently, right? Why does she keep causing trouble? It’s a big deal this time, the entire Blog is filled with condemnations of her. Even the fans of Maddox Allenson have gone to ourpany’s official Blog to curse people."
"While it’s true that artists need exposure, causing such frequent trouble like this isn’t good, right? Moreover, with her causing such a big fuss this time, it’s probably difficult for thepany to clean this up for her. If we had to involve Public Rtions, it would require spending quite a bit."
"She hasn’t brought much revenue to thepany yet, having thepany spend huge sums to settle this issue for her is not a worthwhile deal."
Linda remained silent, waiting for Garret to finish, then calmly responded, "Mr. Tucker, are you suggesting that we should abandon her?"
Garret twiddled a ring around his finger, replying indifferently, "How should I intervene? Seeing the current trend, do you think we can quell this situation just by spending money to pull down the hot search, and hiring online trolls to control the public’s opinion?"
Linda furrowed her brows, "Mr. Tucker, are you implying..."
Garret lifted his head to nce at her and said, "She has offended someone, and they want to mess with her. Otherwise, how do you think the topic got onto the hot search list so quickly?"
"But, that’s no reason for us to just abandon her. Regardless, she is an artist under ourpany now. Besides, this incident is not her fault at all, Maddox voluntarily protected her from the sulfuric acid, he wasn’t forced to by her."
"So the fans are upset and attacking her, that I can understand. But Mr. Tucker, surely you can tell right from wrong."
Hearing her say this, Garret let out a cold snort, "Of course, I know it’s not her fault. However, with the situation bing what it is now, even if it’s not her fault, it’s still rted to her. There’s no need for thepany to keep an artist who’s always causing trouble."
Linda was startled, a look of surprise appearing on her face, "Mr. Tucker, what do you mean?"
Garret looked directly at her: "Terminate the contract with her. We don’t want this artist anymore."
